1. ERIC THE VIKING, HE RUNS THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE,
HE NEVER NEEDS A PLACE TO HIDE. :D

HOW MUCH FUN IS ASKARS HAVING WITH THIS ARC, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. :D And hey, if you wanna deviate from Book 4!Eric's plot, let Nancy Oliver do it, because Nancy Oliver is the BAMF who wrote the Eric-Godric arc of season 2. THERE IS NOTHING I DON'T LOVE ABOUT STONED!AMNESIA!ERIC. NOTHING. I NEED 23948723482942 MORE GIFS FROM THIS EPISODE, Y'ALL.
2. That said, everything else about this episode's plot SUCKED. Okay, Lafayette didn't suck, BUT OTHERWISE. SO MUCH SUCK. At least it was written well.
3. OH GOD WE DIDN'T NEED THE MICKENS FAMILY BACK. WASN'T TOMMY ENOUGH? FFS THEY ARE ANNOYING, REDUNDANT AND USELESS. THEY ARE THE LISA AND BEN OF TRUE BLOOD.
4. Also in the realm of FFS WHY: Jason's arc. The only two things I like about it AT ALL are that a) he realizes he's being gruesomely raped (YOU CAN NEVER KNOW, WITH JASON STACKHOUSE), and b) his little speech for the poor little were-panther girl. FUCK YES, SHE DESERVES TO BE TREATED BETTER THAN THAT. And Felton's little Cousin Bad Touch moment after she went out was like FUCK NO, KILL THE MOTHERFUCKER moment for yours truly.
4.5 That said, Crystal Norris is fast becoming the villain of this season. Or at least, the red herring villain of this season. You know, like The Fellowship of the Sun was the red herring villain of season 2, and the real villain was Maryann The Annoying Maenad.
5. MONA! MONA AS CAROLINE BELLEFLEUR! FUCK YES, CASTING DEPARTMENT. First you score Fiona fucking Shaw and now MONA. :D
5.5. Oh man, that "Beel discovers he's been fucking his great great great grandduaghter" moment was really played for full awkward effect, wasn't it. NANCY OLIVER, I SEE YOU. Fucking fabulous moment, which was also playing fully into the plotline of the season, because if anyone discovers Keeng Beel has human relatives, they're discovering one of his Achilles heels (the other one being SUCKEH). And Keeng Beel really does love the crown, oh yes he does.
6. Pam = STILL FABULOUS
Also? Still the wardrobe department's Barbie.
7. That whole "Marnie is being possessed by the SAME SCARY WITCH FROM INQUISITION SPAIN" thing is kinda badass and yet kinda pathetic, you know what I mean? It's like FUCK YEAH HER SPELLS ARE CREEPY, and yet that flashback was blah as hell. And Idk, is this really all you can do with someone like Fiona Shaw? Really? Because if you're slacking, PETUNIA DURSLEY WILL CUT A BITCH. And by "bitch" I do mean Alan Ball.
8. ALCIDE, STOP MAKING THAT NOISE. :D :D :D
8.5. Holy fuck, I'm sure being on set that day was fun. FUCK YES, LET ERIC AND ALCIDE HAVE THEIR LITTLE NEKKID FIGHT. And we were SO CLOSE to getting a full frontal! SO CLOSE!
9. But Sookie, I don't WANNA go back to the dark! OH ERIC. YOU MAKE TRUE BLOOD WORTH WATCHING. :D
